Oliver James had always been a bit of a risk-taker, so quitting college halfway though his course probably didn't seem out of character for him, but he hadn't exactly been in his right mind when he made the decision to leave. Fresh out of college, his Educational Support Allowance had stopped and his mother, Louise, couldn't afford to keep the house they lived in, so a decision had to be made. Having no place else to go, Oliver is forced to turn to temporary accommodation. Hostels were known for the less than reputable characters they took in and that was off-putting, but despite his initial apprehension to move in, the other people living there are nothing like he imagined. One guy living there intrigues him.
Will Jackson is three years older, incredibly nerdy, very athletic and extremely handsome and Oliver has no idea why he is living in the flat next door; not that he's complaining. However, there's a huge obstacle blocking these two from ever being together. Will is straight.
